Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Returning to Yubao Square

Gu Qiaoqiao turned to take another look at the direction of the ward. She would be coming back soon.

Gu Qiaoqiao followed Old Mr. Luo and left.

Meanwhile, Uncle Gu opened the paper box and saw a peace Buddha pendant inside that seemed to faintly radiate a luminescence.

He didn’t hesitate any longer and took off the nucleus carving, replacing it with the new pendant.

Gu Qiaoqiao, huh?

Why did that little girl carve an amulet for the Old Patriarch?

Could it be for the Red Spirit Jade Marrow in the Old Patriarch’s possession?

What does she want the Red Spirit Jade Marrow for?

Uncle Gu’s brow furrowed, and a sense of defeat rose in his heart.

Indeed, times had truly changed.

He and the Old Patriarch had actually been hit by a big truck in broad daylight.

Fortunately, they only sustained minor injuries.

And the truck driver, who was driving while fatigued, not only didn’t flee but also helped them carry the Old Master into the ambulance.

And he even said he’d accept his punishment willingly.

Not to mention Uncle Gu, even Qin Yize didn’t notice anything amiss about him.

But, wasn’t this too coincidental?

And in the recent few months, there had been far too many such coincidences.

So many that Uncle Gu felt somewhat scared.

If it really was Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng behind this, they were too terrifying.

When had they grown to the point of killing people so imperceptibly?

Uncle Gu looked at the Old Patriarch’s emaciated cheeks, not knowing how the Old Patriarch would face this unbearable truth upon waking.

But, face it he must, and he also needed to find out for sure whether it was them or not.

There was also Gu Kun’s death to consider.

Uncle Gu felt like he’d aged a decade in an instant.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was standing in front of the doors to Yubao Square again.

In her shoulder bag was another item.

It was the Gold Jade Stone Carving.

She had specially treated this Gold Jade Stone earlier in the morning.

She knew people with dark intentions carried an aura of black energy, so this stone would reflect that black energy back at them.

Moreover, it would reflect it back with interest.

Since heaven had gifted her such a defy-the-heavens ability, all she had to do was use it openly and justly.

She wouldn’t harm anyone.

However, the Gold Jade Stone could act as her proxy to punish the villains for the time being.

A cold smile flickered across Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, then she concealed it well and walked into Yubao Square’s doors with a composed manner.

She saw Gu Jiansheng’s car at the entrance.

So, when she saw Gu Jiansheng approaching with a radiant smile, her heart felt no surprise at all.

However, Gu Jiansheng was very surprised.

He hadn’t expected to see Gu Qiaoqiao again.

But then he felt somewhat sheepish, as he hadn’t been able to find either of the two items Gu Qiaoqiao had mentioned.

Gu Qiaoqiao stopped in front of him, gazing intently, and realized that he indeed bore a striking resemblance to Ning Wanru.

Suppressing the disgust in her eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao offered a faint smile, “Third Shopkeeper, has your Second Shopkeeper come back yet?”

Gu Jiansheng shook his head with a smile, speaking gently, “He hasn’t come back. What exactly do you need him for? Am I unable to receive you?”

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Gu Jiansheng, appearing hesitant and even furrowing her brow.

Seeing an opportunity, Gu Jiansheng quickly said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Shall we go to the reception room to talk?”

Gu Qiaoqiao looked around, speaking with a hint of difficulty, “Never mind, let’s wait for Zhang Yi to come back to discuss it. You might not have the decision-making authority for this matter.”

“What can I not decide on? I am the Third Shopkeeper here; I have the authority,” Gu Jiansheng said with a flush creeping into his cheeks.

Feeling belittled by Gu Qiaoqiao, he took it as a blow to his pride.

“I’d like to sell a piece that I’ve carved myself,” Gu Qiaoqiao finally spoke up.

Gu Jiansheng was truly taken aback this time.

He was unaware of the nucleus carving Gu Qiaoqiao had sold to Yubao Square.

Therefore, he also hadn’t expected the young lady before him to have the ability to carve.

No matter the quality of the carving, the mere ability to do it was impressive.

At that moment, a sense of respect welled up in Gu Jiansheng’s heart.

His voice became much more solemn as he earnestly said, “Then let’s go to the reception room. I’ll take a look at your work, and we have professional masters in the store to appraise it.”

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, “Okay.”

She then followed Gu Jiansheng to the reception room behind the counter.

She had been there once before.

It was like a small living room.

The decor was charmingly antique.

However, on the Eight Immortals table on the other side, there was surprisingly a high-end camera.

There were also some photographic equipment.

Clearly, Gu Jiansheng had turned this into his photography studio.

Gu Jiansheng’s attire seemed ordinary, but was actually all designer brands.

It must have been the same in her previous life.

They had lived in wealth and splendor from a young age, enjoying everything that her younger brother and sister had never experienced.

Yet, those who had never enjoyed such wealth and honor, ended up losing their lives due to the very opulence that seemed to belong to them as well.

She thought that no matter what she did, it seemed impossible to quell the hatred in her heart.

However, Gu Jiansheng was completely oblivious to this. He apologetically moved the equipment to one side and then invited Gu Qiaoqiao to have a seat, “May I see Miss Gu’s work?”

Gu Qiaoqiao presented the Gold Jade Stone without any reservation.

This time, she had brought “Roc Spreading Its Wings.”

A piece of gold had still been carved into the sun.

The pale blue jade had been sculpted into the sky.

A chunk of dark brown stone was just right for carving a majestic eagle spreading its wings.

The eagle seemed to carry an aura of slaughter and appeared as if it would break free from this realm and soar beyond the clouds.

Gu Jiansheng was stunned.

He didn’t understand jade or antiques, but that didn’t mean he lacked appreciation.

Add to that his love for photography and fine arts, so he instantly fell in love with such a masterpiece from the bottom of his heart.

Handling it with extreme care, for the first time in his life, Gu Jiansheng began to scrutinize the sculpture meticulously.

It was as if the eagle would come to life and go for your eyes if it was observed any longer.

The thought gave Gu Jiansheng a start.

Yet such an exquisite piece of Jade Carving was indeed rare in this day and age.

Gu Qiaoqiao was in no hurry, leisurely waiting aside while occasionally glancing around at the décor.

After a while, Gu Jiansheng gingerly placed the Jade Sculpture back on the table.

Then, looking up at Gu Qiaoqiao, he said seriously, “Miss Gu, your work is truly unparalleled and a wonder to behold.”

The waiter who rushed over to serve tea couldn’t help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself, this silly boy, you can’t talk like that.

If the other party heard this, wouldn’t they demand an exorbitant price?

After serving the two of them iced tea, he took another glance at the Jade Sculpture.

He had to admit internally that the Jade Carving was indeed of exceptional beauty.

It was also the first time he had come across such extraordinary craftsmanship since he’d been introduced to jade.

Yubao Square had dozens of jade carving masters, but none possessed such skill.
